Workshops and Meeting in October

October 22-26, Fereshta Westin, lecturer at the Swedish School of Library and Information Science, met with the master students in Maputo. The aim of the workshops was to guide the students into the world of HTML, CSS, XML and SQL. Of course the aim was also to assist them in their learning so they can pass the examination of the course. The assignment is to build a web site by early November.

The same week the Annual Planning Meeting took place and Dr Zimba and myself met to discuss balance, budget for the upcoming year and to make plans for next year´s events. In February the master students will come to the University of Borås for their residential week and job shadowing and in April it will be time for the Annual Review Meeting and workshops for the library staff in Maputo.
